What’s cool? You've probably seen drawing apps before for your Android devices, but the thing that sets ArtFlow apart is the scope of its features, especially in the paid “pro” version. The app includes the ability to undo actions, draw and paint on multiple levels, and access to tons of different brushes and other elements to get exactly what you want out of your drawings.

What’s it about? Another update to Minecraft – Pocket Edition adds more features to bring the mobile version of the indie darling more into line with its PC counterpart.

What’s cool? Minecraft has appealed to millions of players because of its two-fold gameplay. It's a game about surviving, with players searching a procedurally generated world, building houses and making tools, in order to survive the night, when deadly monsters begin to roam the world. But it's also a game about creation, and allows players to make detailed creations and even work together with other players in both modes. Minecraft – Pocket Edition still isn't quite as full-featured as the PC original, but continual updates keep adding more great features. The latest additions are things like buckets and other tools, new textures, bug fixes and more that make the game even more immersive.

Who’s it for? Fans of Minecraft on PC or players who want to explore a deep and interesting game world should check out Pocket Edition.
